What is the Sunday Salon?
The Sunday Salon is a spot to link up and share what we have been doing during the week. It's also a great opportunity to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there.
What I Read Last Week:
Endling by Maria Reva (fiction)
What I'm Reading Now:
Tess of the Road by Rachel Hartman (fantasy)
Truth is the Arrow, Mercy is the Bow: A DIY Manual for the Construction of Stories by Steve Almond (writing)
How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell (kids' fantasy)
What I Posted Last Week Here at Readerbuzz:
I'm glad to tell you that Nonfiction November is returning this year. I'm working now on making my list of my favorite nonfiction of 2025, and I'm making a list of what I want to read in November. For more about Nonfiction, take a look at my Nonfiction November 2025: Save the Date post.
I had never seen this movie nor had I even heard of this movie until Erin (Still Life, with Cracker Crumbs) and Lisa's (Boondock Ramblings) included it as part of this year's Cozy Comfy Cinema.
The story of a peasant who poses as a knight? No, I thought, that does not sound like my cup of tea. I requested it from my library reluctantly, and I almost gave up on it early on (What is this "We Will Rock You" business at the tournament?)
But I forged ahead, and it grew on me, Green-Eggs-and-Ham-style. I liked the addition of Geoffrey Chaucer into the knight's entourage. I liked the script. I liked William's character, his focus on doing the right thing and his pluckiness, which was a stark contrast to the scheming and belittling character of Count Adhemar. I even ended up liking the 1970s background score.
Quite the fun movie.
I began to list 3 Good Things every day during the pandemic. Now I've established a regular routine of writing down my 3 Good Things. Here are 3 Good Things from last week:
Good Thing #1:
We were talking about letter writing in my writing class,
and I was a Debbie Downer, saying letter writing is dead,
and after class I saw that I had a lovely package
from Tina at Turn the Page
which included a real letter
(along with a seed pop,
if you are wondering what the green thing is).
Good Thing #2:
Our public library now has a seed library.
Good Thing #3:
My husband and I went to
the first of four birding field trips in October
in Galveston, and I saw
this Peregrine Falcon,
my #200 bird on my life list.
